Scenario for reproducing error
I tried to use new feature of JMeter2.5 "Start next loop".
There is infinite loop in thread group, it provide some users's scenario.
If error occured in the sampler which is inside loop, then behaviour of jmeter is strange. According to "View Results Tree" listener, it doesn't do anything, but thread remain active.
I prepared simplified example for reproducing this bug(attachment).
After running, it executes 3 loops and stopped (if no any errors occured)
Then enable sampler "(failed)Load page" (it must cause error)and run scenario again, and look at VRT. After first error, no any other samplers executed, but thread is still active. It do something depending on parameter "Forever" of loop. If definite count if iterations is set, some delay between loops present(about 10 seconds for 1000 iterations) but none the less scenario remain working.

Hello,
2.5.1 should be available within 2 or 3 days.
Meanwhile if you can build JMeter from source and check issue is fixed for you it would be great.
Otherwise test when 2.5.1 is available and answer by saying:
- OK we will close issue
- KO => Describe Issue
That's the info needed.
